Show the details of waveforms.
●
XY-waveforms:
Four XY-waveforms can be created. Each XY-waveform is built from the volt-
age values of two source waveforms.
●
Digital waveforms:
The Mixed Signal Option R&S
RTO6-B1 provides 16 digital channels grouped
in two logic probes (pods) with 8 channels each.
Waveform handling
The R&S
RTO6 can show and analyze many waveforms. To handle this multitude
while keeping track of it, the R&S
RTO6 provides intelligent support:
●
The color system helps to distinguish the waveforms. The color of the vertical
rotary knobs indicates the signal that is focused (selected). The color of each
waveform can be changed, the color of its signal icon and of the illuminated
keys is adjusted to the new color. Alternatively, a color table can be assigned
to a waveform.
Settings: "Menu" > "Settings" > "Appearance" > "Colors" tab.
●
Waveforms can be minimized to signal icons showing a real-time signal pre-
view. Thus, more space in the diagram area is available without switching off
waveforms.
●
Diagrams are displayed on tabs
–
you can arrange them side by side or one
above the other. To change the diagram name, double-tap the tab name.
●
The Rohde & Schwarz SmartGrid function helps to arrange the diagrams.
Waveform states
Depending on its place on the screen and the effect of settings, a waveform has
one of the following states:
●
Off
●
Active: The waveform is shown in a diagram.
●
Selected:
One of the active waveforms that has the focus. In each diagram, one of the
assigned waveforms is selected
–
it appears "on top" in the diagram, and the
grid labels have the color of the selected waveform. Some of the toolbar func-
tions, like cursor and histogram measurements, are performed on the selected
waveform. All waveform-specific settings are applied to the selected waveform
of the selected diagram.
